According to WebMD, the peroneal tendons “stabilize the foot and guard against sprains.”
Curry first sustained the injury late in the third quarter and returned to the game less than four minutes into the fourth quarter. But on the first play, he aggravated the ailment and hobbled to the Warriors’ locker room.
The 36-year-old has a long history of ankle injuries, so the Warriors likely are to take a cautious approach, especially this early in the 2024-25 NBA season.
The loss of Curry, even for just two games, will be a heavy burden on the rest of the Warriors roster that won’t have forward De’Anthony Melton and could be without wing Andrew Wiggins.
Melton has been ruled out for the two games against the Pelicans with a strained lower back. He will be re-evaluated on Friday.
Wiggins, the Warriors’ leading scorer (19.7 points) through three games, is questionable with a lower back strain.
